Homesick

The past few days I’ve been staying at my brother’s house with my grandmother and my nieces. Things didn’t turn out quite like I expected, I’m actually living in hell, a lot of plans were changed around, etc. but that’s not what’s bothering me the most. What bothers me is that I miss being home. And I honestly didn’t think I’d miss it so much.

Home. With my new microwave (finally!), DVR, wireless internet, selective junk food, books, warm bed with covered up windows so I sleep/live in the dark, my bird to keep me amused… I miss all of it. The past few days I’ve been spending time with my nieces who so far have made me watch High School Musical, Drake and Josh, iCarly, and a whole bunch of other stuff I really could care less about.

My sister and her friend (who, by the way, are 30 years old) made plans to take me to a club wearing a tube top and getting plastered because apparently, that’s fun! And exciting! And shouldn’t I do something rather than lounge around the house all day? Why yes, yes I can do something: grow up. Why can’t you?

Tomorrow I leave in the morning for Home Sweet Home. I just hope I can make it through tonight. Supposedly we’re going to watch a scary movie and shriek like little girls. I am so excited for that, I cannot even begin to tell you. Hooray.


I take it that you’re not into the club scene.  I don’t blame you--it’s overrated.  Been to a club once, and I don’t care if I ever step foot in one again.  If I want to get plastered, I’ll do it in the confines of my house.

I know how it feels to be homesick though.  It sucks, especially when you don’t have the really familiar anywhere near.  Yeah, you’re with family, but like you said, your nieces have you watching Disney and Nickelodeon.  Bleh.

Ouch! I’d be homesick too. I’ve been keeping myself cooped up inside and I’m fine with it. I’ve never been in a club yet, not legal haha, but I think it will be a fun experience. I prefer drinking at my house or a friends house tbh.

I wish you luck for tonight and enjoy getting home!

Grow up? This is the time you should be partying, you have your whole retirement to lounge around the house.

I miss my brother and my room when I go away. Other than that, I could care less.

You know, I tell myself I’ll never get homesick… but even a few days away from home, I’m waiting to go back, crying on the phone talking to my mommy…

And this is true even when we didn’t have DVR… but I can’t imagine how homesick I’d feel now, now that we do.

*Shudders at the thought of having to watch High School Music, Drake and Josh, and iCarly* I’m not old enough to go clubbing yet, but I doubt I will once I’m of legal age; it’s just not my thing. 
Well, at least you’ll be home soon! :)

Bah ha, I was home the other day and I turned on Nick for the hell of it and I watched Drake and Josh and iCarly forever.  It was so dumb but oddly hypnotizing.

If your sisters haven’t grown out of the clubbing thing by now they probably never will.  Oh joy of joys one of two things will occur for you.  1. you will be drug around in clothing that you would rather not wear to every bar to be their DD or 2. you will watch their kids...YAY!

Well, hopefully you are home now and getting to chill out and decompress from such an eventful weekend...did they really dress you in a tube top?

“DA CLUB!!!111” scene is overrated… well, at least for me it is. Maybe it’s because I used to go out so much… I got burned out, lol. If I wanna get plastered, I’d rather just go to regular bars or pubs or gatherings between friends… stuff that doesn’t involve “dancing” to the latest craptacular song.
